Travel into Saigon / The City!

We were sad to leave Cambodia, but we had a good trip! This post is best told via food shots...

Before we left, we tried Cambodian porridge (rice based). You add dried fish, pickles and egg to taste. Delicious!



In the airport, we saw Asia’s answer to Burger King - Dim Sum Emperors. Honestly, despite the cheesy name, these some of the best dumplings we have ever had!!!





The Vietnamese seem to favour their coffee to be very strong, and this particular cafe made a strong pitch (sadly we could not verify authenticity of their claim).


Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City was a totally bonkers place. Mad amounts of traffic, loud loud loud bars, but tasty food and great rooftop views. We only had around 24 hours here, before we made our way to Can Tho (via funky reclining bus).

It was interesting to see the city’s nightlife winding down, at the same time as shop owners were setting up their stalls for the day ahead. The air was refreshing, and, at 25 degrees C, this was the coolest temperature we would likely experience for a few weeks.  Sunrise was due for 6.12am, and temple access is available from 5am, which explains our driver’s determination to get us to the front of the queue. We got a pretty good seating (on rocks) and viewing position. Our photos won’t do the temple justice, but here they are. As a brief historical note, the Ankgor Wat temple is built on a square man-made island (surrounded by a literal square moat). The island is approximately the size of Manh...

Ha Long Bay

otherwise known as the bay of the descending dragon, it’s one of the more stunning sights so far. A series of islands that’s really only easily seen via ship. Difficult to describe so here are some pictures: Also many caves exist of which we visited one: Further updates on Hanoi to come!
